    One of the primary needs for socio-economic development of any nation is provision of reliable electricity supply system. Most of the conventional energy generation technologies employ exhaustible sources like coal, oil and nuclear fuel. Recent events have posed a setback to the sector of conventional power generation, the reasons for which include Higher fuel prices, Societal pressures to conserve resources, Environmental awareness, Increase in production cost and Concern for safety related to certain technology (like the Nuclear). Hence in present day energy scenario, for meeting the ever-increasing energy demand, efforts have come into focus with a view to develop new generation technologies. The major goals of these approaches are to have Reduced Environmental damages, Conservation of energy, Exhaustible sources and Increased safety. Standalone wind with Solar Photovoltaic is known as the best hybrid combination of all renewable energy systems and suitable for most of the applications taking care of seasonal changes. They also complement each other during lean periods. These systems are modular and can be expanded easily. Hybrid wind & solar systems provide more consistent year-round performance and reduce the need for back-up generation and increased reliability.
